New Asthma Australia Handbook 2.1
The latest edition of the Asthma Australia Handbook 2.1 has been released.
First published in 1990, initially as the Asthma Management Plan and then as the Asthma Management Handbook, the Handbook was one of the first Australian guidelines addressing the diagnosis and management of a chronic condition. Throughout its eight editions, the Handbook has set the standard for best-practice asthma management in Australia by being comprehensive and user-friendly, and emphasising a team approach to asthma care.
This edition continues the new name – the Australian Asthma Handbook – and the same commitment to practical advice for primary care health professionals. Current version 2.1 was published in September 2020. Version 2.0 was published in March 2019. Version 1.0 was published in March 2014, with minor updates published as version 1.1 (April 2015), version 1.2 (October 2016), and version 1.3 (December 2017).
